Its halfway through the semester, and I’m not sure what to think about this studio. Its seemed ok so far, confusing for sure, and I’m not sure what the final destination is. I’d really like to get cracking, but I’d like to stop exploring tangents and take action on a particular angle.
And I’ve decided I don’t want to decide what I want to be taught. I chose this course because it sounded like it could teach me about general technology, sound, sound recording, answering a brief, working in a group, and forming a tangible and meaningful solution to the city of Melbourne’s inquiry. We haven’t covered any of these areas thoroughly, and I don’t see it as my responsibility to decide what I want to be taught. My decisions ended when I chose this course. If I need to choose what I want to learn, then I am limited to the areas I already know something about. How can I ask Liam or Fiona to teach me about something if I don’t know that it exists? I want them to impart their knowledge and experience to me.
That said, I know I don’t want to spend hours in the workshop making something I know I can make. I would rather deliberate over sound in the city, work in groups to see how we react to sound and create something that I am proud of to go in the city. Then I will have learnt something.
Cant we just get a move on?
